BECHTELSVILLE, PA January 3, 2025 . . . . . . . . . . . .. The thirty-sixth season of the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series will return to Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, PA and the first of three high-powered events will open the Thunder Series on Tuesday night, May 20. The big night of sprint car racing will find Levan Machine & Truck Equipment presenting the RICH MAR Florist Kubota High Limit Racing 410 Sprints.
This will be the third visit by High Limits to Grandview Speedway. Thunder on the Hill and Grandview Speedway were proudly one of just twelve tracks in the country selected to host this organization in their first season in 2023.
Time trials and heat race qualifying will open the show leading up to the 35 lap $20,000 to win main event.
Prior winners of this event were Rico Abreu in 2023 as Pennsylvania driver Brent Marks took the win in 2024. Marks also pocketed a $2,000 bonus posted by Pioneer Pole Buildings for the first Pennsylvania driver to win a High Limit event at Grandview. PPB will again post a PA $2,000 bonus for the May 20 event.
The NAPA Auto Parts Thunder Series will continue with the opening night of the 18th Annual Amsoil USAC Non-Wing Sprints Eastern Storm National Tour on Tuesday night, June 17 with a 7:30 PM starting time. Thunder on the Hill and Grandview Speedway were the nucleus of the creation of the USAC Eastern Storm and it is so fitting that they would again host the opening event of the Eastern Storm.
Pioneer Pole Buildings is the race night sponsor as the top non-wing sprint racers chase the Levan Machine & Truck Equipment $10,000 Series Point Fund. This event is the Jesse Hockett Classic, a 40 lap feature paying $6,000 to the winner in a tribute to Jesse Hockett. The Grandview 358 Modifieds will be on the racing program taking part in a series of qualifying events highlighted by a 30 lap feature paying $3,000 to win. PPB will again post a $2,000 bonus for a first time Thunder Modified feature winner. $5,000 to win 30 laps for your first Thunder win is a treat, previously earned by Alex Yancowski as Eric Kormann pulled off the accomplishment in 2024.
The 358 Modifieds will follow the weekly Grandview Speedway car specifications.
The Thunder finale is set for Tuesday night, July 1 when the Pennsylvania 410 Sprints Speed Week Series and the 358 Modifieds team up for a spectacular doubleheader. Start time is 7:30 PM with the 410 sprints opening with time trials followed by a series of qualifying events leading up to the Hodnett Cup, a 35 lap feature paying $10,000 to win. The 358 Modifieds will also compete in qualifying events and a 30 lap feature paying $3,000 to win. Once again, Pioneer Pole Buildings will post a $2,000 bonus to any first time Thunder Modified feature winner.
